TAIWANESE BRAISED PORK RICE or LU ROU FAN – an iconic Taiwanese comfort dish that features tender braised pork belly simmered in a savory-sweet sauce, served with eggs and over fluffy steamed rice. This recipe is made with chunky pieces of pork belly, which is a common way to prepare Taiwanese braised pork in the southern part of Taiwan. Some restaurants use ground pork or minced pork, but I prefer using pork belly. You can definitely use ground pork or minced pork if you desire. However, I find that the secret component of the best pork belly is the fat content! The combination of pork skin, fat, and meat creates a more tender texture, allowing it to melt in the mouth.

Here is the link to the full recipe:

  1. Fujianese, not Taiwanese. People from Fujian have been eating braised pork and eggs over rice for centuries now before they migrated to Taiwan.

    And the recipe is off. You do not need to add oyster sauce, pepper or wine, and you should use the actual five spices instead of the powder as it gives a completely different flavour profile.

    The meat was also not browned properly before adding the stew as well.
